He has a very UNIQUE style and will totally give you the Cal experience you're looking for! Plus, you'll do well in the class

GREATEST INSTRUCTOR I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.

requirement for this class: 1 midterm, 1 take home final (10pgs). yet the cockiness of this demented old man demeans the easiness aspect of this class. obviously he is ambitious about disseminating info, yet biased like a madman.

The smartest man on Berkely campus. Been here a few years, lots of smart people. Gregor is smartest man on whole campus. Granted, many are technically smart, etc. this man knows his subjects and knows the world. Hope his lectures are webcast soon

Professor Gregor will retire soon. I would take all, any classes by this professor. Teaching, research experience of 40 years of work. Many 18, 19, 20 years old are shocked by views. When you are old you "been there" "done that"

Gregor is one of the sweetest and most intelligent professors on campus.He can seem intimidating at first, but once you get to know him, he is very warm-hearted although opinionated.You will learn a lot from his class and he will help you whenever you nee

Teaches class on epistomology.i.e. how we "know" anything. Foundation of science, knowledge, claims. It's the foundation of the scientific method. Claims to "Truth" "False", "Undetermined" T/F/U. Best class on ca

Many students do not understand or know the value of Gregor teaching. The foundation of knowledge. True-False-Undetermined. It is the foundation of the natural-social sciences. In short, the essence what a university is or should be. Knowlege: what is it, how we get it, what is best evidence.

Professor Gregor has changed my life and way of thinking; few professors can claim this. He really taught me how to think critically and challenge any professor's metaphysical claims. He is open, engaging and the best lecturer on campus hands-down. The only bad thing is that his age means he will on

took his classes '89-'92. Rumor was he was a fascist that didn't even know who his TA's were- a rumor he relished. First time I talked to him, he knew my name without introduction, knew what TA I had and how my grade was to date. Great and colorful lecturer.

Perhaps the best proffesor at Berkeley.

Professor Gregor is the best professor I have ever had in my entire life. The man is a genius. He makes all others pale in comparison. Take him early and take him often.

Smartest Man on Berkeley Campus. Best Lecturer by far. Even asks in class "what is a theory". Class on the Foundation of knowledge. Truth-False-Undetermined. Great person in office hours. Funny, sense of humor. Attend lecture or take class. Credit do not matter.

Professor Gregor is the greatest Professor in Berkeley if not anywhere. I have taken 4 classes with him as well as my honor's thesis. He has inspired me to challenge people and think for myself. His lectures are hilarious and informative, and he can tear apart any uninformed dumb Marxist on campus.

Bitter, acerbic, sarcastic, blunt, and sometimes a bit hostile ... God love him. Anyone seriously interested in learning about politics, really KNOWING new things by the end of a class, should NOT miss Gregor's courses. This man is truly a shining beacon in an otherwise largely mediocre department.

One of the easiest classes in the dept.His main points are repeated multiple times, echoed in the readings, and summed up in the handouts he gives you before class. Unfortunately, the repetitiveness can also be insufferable when he rants about the left(aka bra-burning, toilet plugging Marxists).

I love this guy! Just take his class he is incredible, truly he has inspired me so much!

Truth, Truth, Truth & Truth. What is True-False-Unknown. How do we know anything? Truth from Math, Science, Observation. Foundation of knowledge (Truth). Most important class on campus. Only class you will remember 20 years from now. Best professor, best class on campus.

Don't come in Late!!!!!!!!

Only thing this guy doesnt do is wax your shoes before the exam. EASY ASS class with all answers given to you before midterm and final. You need not show up to any lecture or purchase the reader. All he rants about is how students are dumb, the campus is left, and Sun Yat Sen had it all figured out. really, just avoid the class.

True-False. True Knowledge False Knowledge. Many morons-pinheads mistake the easiness of class or he personal style with "what he is saying" What is Truth. How we know the Truth. What is False. What is lie. What True knowledge. This is not trivial-light subject. Most important class on campus. Only class you will remember in 10, 20, 30 years.

Go to his office hours! He is unlike any professor I encountered at Cal - go with an open mind and enjoy his crotchety highness. And be prepared to be offended. Most enjoyable lectures. And don't be late.

Hes a legend!!! u can NOT graduate from cal without taking a class from him....plus he gives u the answers to the midterms and finals

Really two years later... I am still digesting this man's lectures. He is a class act and anyone who dissess him, probably because they're easily offended. If you have a good sense of humor definitely take it - CLASSIC.

GREGOR IS A GENIUS.... GREGOR IN '08!

He's an awesome professor...understands how our brain works. Class is pretty easy. one that i;ll remember years from now.

I love this guy

On days I would miss class, I would still make sure to show up for his lectures. Enjoyable and educational. You have to take one of his classes before graduating.

I took this class with professor Gregor in the SPring and I don't believe I've learned more from any professor. He's been teaching since 1967 and has a wealth of knowledge. His TA's are very intelligent but their grading is difficult.

Amazing lectures! Lecture and reading prepare you very well for exams, but his classes not "easy," because some of readers are vicious graders who refuse to give A's, no matter how well you do on exams so beware! They also do not hesitate to give out D's and F's!!!

Do not take any of Gregor's classes if Jessica is your reader! If she is, DROP IT! She is god-awful! If you write Gregor's so-called "C Paper," she will give you an F. She has no regard whatsoever for Gregor's guidelines, and he will not under any circumstances revise your grade. She's the worst reader because she is a fellow undergrad (junior).

This is smartest man on Berkeley campus. True-False-Unknown. What a "theory"? What is Knowledge (K). Where does K come from. What's difference between Natural science and social science. This is simply best class on campus. Cannot miss. Even if not enrolled. just attend lectures. Just go to lectures. No one cares about grades.

readers are great!

1 in class midterm and takehome final. Pretty easy class. Gives you the C answer before the exam and all you need to do is expand on it (using the books, lectures etc--esp the books) to get an A. It's not really as hard as it is time consuming when making your outline. Jessica was pretty clear as to wat she wanted. I'd recommend the class.

this course is a breeze. i never went to class yet still got an A. gregor gives all of the answers before both the exams. i had jessica as my reader and she was pretty helpful.

Gregor is not a professor. Gregor is a way of life. Fear the Gregor. Love the Gregor. Embrace the Gregor. I had his class TEN YEARS AGO (I'm class of '98) and I still think about it. How many reviews have you seen where the reviewer says that? Take this class. Get the Gregor experience before he dies.

This class was a joke - literally. For about 30-60 mins, Gregor would go off on wild tangents and make cracks about the students. Yea, it's easy to get an A, but I felt that going to class was a waste of my time - so I never went. Take this class if you want an easy A, but make sure a friend who goes everytime who will bring back a precis.

easy class, i would recommend it. Gregor is really funny, he offers a unique perspective on how nothing really matters, and that if you are going to be a ruler of China, be Like Sun Yat Sen. You have to take his teaching stategy as comical, if you take it seriously...you're just stupid.

Prof Gregor is by far the best professor at Cal. Not only is the material fascinating but he makes it entertaining and very clear. He may come off as a mean old shrewd when he starts yelling at folks for coming in late, but past that he is a very caring and brilliant professor!

Cult icon on campus. The guy is hilarious and is more of a stand up comic than an educator. He covers the same concept every lecture and only gives readings that back up his viewpoint. Therefore, don't take the class if you want critical thiking, take it if you want to ditch a lot or be entertained. Overall, I like the guy.

The guy kind of has like a cult following behind him. Lectures are useful at first but he ends up repeating himself almost completely later on. Not exactly open to diverging opinions but he proposes many interesting ideas. I came in with high expectations, now I think the guy is kind of nuts. Oh well, it was easy, pray your reader grades fair.

Absolutely the best prof. I've had at Berkeley. Extremely well versed in his subject matter(compared to other instructors). Incredibly eloquent and well spoken. He has a great passion for teaching and his students. I've taken every course he offers and only wish he offered more. He's AWESOME and it was an honor to have taken a course with him.

This guy is one of the best professors on campus. He is extemely well versed in his subject. Don't listen to the people who call him a "****" because he's not one at all-his wife is Chinese for one thing. He is a staunch conservative and Berkeley students are quick to libel him. Easy class, interesting professor, plain and simple.

for a non-poli sci student, fairly understandable, really amusing, but dont come late, sleep, eat, laugh, smile, breath, or he'll publicly humiliate you...which was always the highlight of the class period. Otherwise, great teacher

Gregor is a character. His lectures are amusing, but you should only go to class when you have nothing to do or are really bored (seriously u don't have to go to this class). The midterm and final were take-home essays. I only opened up two of his his books all semester. Just don't go to class late, not even a minute late, or u will be ostracized.

The best class I have taken at Cal. Gregor should be mandatory for EVERYONE! Hes funny, intellegent and stern - exactly what every professor should be. He doesnt waste time pretending to be nice - but is a wonderful person during office hours. His class opens your mind & makes you question your toughts and actions. Inclass midterm & takehome final.

Professor Gregor taught me a lot. I can't forget the theme of 137A & 137B and I find myself applying it to other classes. Yes, he snaps at late arrivals, but honestly when you get to be that old, you can do that. What a personality... I want to shrink him and keep him on my bookshelf.

Best class I've ever taken. Voice of reason in the cess pool of insanity that is Berkeley.

First of all, if you are a Political Science major, then you will find yourself using all of Professor Gregor's concepts in other courses. The perspective he provides is extremely useful and legitimate. He is also one hell of a character. I promise that you will laugh your ass off at least once every lecture. Take his class and you will notregretit

One cool ass old man. Lectures are often repetitive, but attending his class is often like going to a comedy show. Funny as hell

Great guy. He really knows his stuff. Lecture is optional. You can just blow off every class except the one before the inclass midterm where he gives you the questions and the answers and the 2 before the final where he'll give you the answers. He repeats himself a lot but lectures are usually very entertaining. Great class. Easy B, alright A

The MAN!!!

Professor Gregor provides a refreshing alternative to the boring, old, leftist points of view that still proliferates Berkeley. If you want to learn about the similarities between so-called communists and fascists, take this class. If you are a typical Berkeley Move-On.org supporter, you may end up hating the guy.

Gregor is the mayne. He is hilarious and very smart, duh. He has a strong personality but most of it is an act, he's very nice in OH. Yes, he may yell at you for being late but he is also the only Prof that will come everyday in a 3-piece suit.

Gregor is the man. He definitely gives a unique perspective on the subject, which is nice. Yeah, he screams if you come in late, but it's funny to see the look on people's faces when it happens to them. Most people skip lecture except for midterm review and the final it seems. Great class.

Take this class. Just do it. This guy is the real deal. I am class of 2003 and had his class seven years ago, and I am here to tell you all that you should take this class while the man is still alive. I would have international visitors visit me in Berkeley and I would take them to this class.

LOVED Gregor!He was my favorite this semester!Great lectures,very amusing,and smart.Yes he does explain from his perspective,but which prof doesn't?He has been teaching and researching topic for decades, sohe might as well have his perspective. DO NOT MISS ANY of his classes!

A true Cal treasure. His lectures were never boring - and they are a must in order to receive an "A" in the class. He erases the line between "left" and "right" and provides a truly stimulating lecture every time!

Great class. I must say it was difficult following his lectures, but the readings were all interesting. Your grade in the class, especially the difference between an "A" and a "B," depends quite a bit on which reader you get--and believe me, you want Awwab. Enjoy!

Gregor is absolutely the best Prof I had at Cal. I look back to his classes and wish I was in them once again just to hear him yell at some stupid hippie. He is a brilliant academic and one of the worlds greatest experts on 20th century revolutionary movements. Take a class from the man, just don't be late! Excellant Prof!

I'm at work and wondering if he is 2) still alive and kicking and b) still has the word fascist carved in his door? Honestly, by far an amazing professor. He took my head out of my you know what. He's about hard work and accountability. A lot of students in my course could not understand this because they were not raised to.

UC best prof. If NOT best Prof in the world. UC Treasure. Now in 80s. Retired from work. Prof cannot take it to the grave. UC TV or UC Webcast should tape all lectures. Post on internet. world can see it. Best UC professor. Tape his lectures for UC TV.
